May Transit Update - Adventurous Ride & Diversion with New Direction

The transit update for the month of May…

‘May’ is the 5th month of the year…& Mercury is the ruler of the number 5…

The energies of number 5 & Mercury are changeable, energetic & totally unpredictable in nature…

There can be fluctuations & hard time sticking to one place, one idea, one thought, one job, or even one relationship…

We have a lot to explore this month & things can be slower than expected… as Mercury is retrograde till 15th May...

Mercury represents our thoughts, media, communication, travel, education, or any documentation work.

Expect gradual progress in all these significations after Mercury gets direct.

& let’s not forget…Mercury is the King of this samvat year…

Venus is the Minister who would work upon the instructions of King Mercury…. & both are good friends…

The entire month Venus is in Gemini, Mercury’s sign…

Mercury is intellectual and Venus is all about comfort…. pleasure

So, the theme of the month will be to have an intellectual conversation with some brilliant ideas, travel & finish any documentation work.

Secondly, the Aries – Libra axis and its significance will play a major role as we have the Lunar eclipse in Libra…

& In the 2nd half the focus will be more towards Taurus sign & its significance with Sun in Taurus by 15th May….

We may work on improving… our self-image, eating habits, health, family bonding, finances & interpersonal relations.

With the Lunar eclipse of 5th & Mercury retrograde, there can be changes, confusion, even mistakes, or errors in our task & also in the way we feel...

It is likely that our routine can be disturbed...

Retrograde Mercury will impact our decision-making power the most & … can bring delays…

Expect instability in our routine work…Everyone needs to watch... being restless & impatient.

& it can be very easy to lose our temper or our communication can be unclear.

We may jump from one activity to another, without finishing anything….

Also, for the entire month, Saturn is moving really slow just 1° from 11° - 12°

& in June Saturn will get retro at 13° on 18th June….

The significance of Saturn like our career, job, & any health matters may not see much progress.

But, to balance this, we have Jupiter moving faster than normal…. crossing 2 navamsas in a month - Taurus & Gemini.

Jupiter will be in Cancer Navamsa by the 4th of June...& will enter Bharani Nakshatra.

Rahu/Ketu will continue to be in the same sign & in Gemini-Sagittarius nav.

We start the month with Pluto retrogression on 1st May…

Pluto the planet of major transformation will be retrograde in Uttarashada nakshatra.

This retro Pluto can bring our attention to things that we need to work on & change, especially in our career, and our social responsibilities...

It could trigger fear, power struggles, control issues, or any secrets in relationships that can come into the open.

This year we have Venus’s retrogression in Cancer-Leo so Pluto will impact our emotions the most.

On 2nd May, Venus will enter Gemini

This would be a pleasant, unafflicted transit & after Mercury’s direct motion, we can expect some very good & friendly communication.

Even Mercury is initially in Bharani – Venus’ nakshatra. Expect pleasant trips & good entertainment.

& on the same day, we have Sun - Mercury tight conjunction @ 17° in Aries.

This denotes a very good intelligent expression of thoughts but here Mercury is still retrograde so be careful with what & how you talk…

If you use this well then, your personality will shine with your leadership talents & oratory….

Then, we have full moon & 1st Lunar eclipse of the year…in Libra – Vishakha nak @ 20° on 5th May…

Connect this lunar eclipse with the time when Ketu was in Vishakha from February to October 2022.

There could have been some change or diversion in your life around that time…

Whatever you were trying to work on at that time ...now with this eclipse you may see some physical development.

& the very next day on 6th May Jupiter, the lord of Vishakha will enter Taurus Navamsa…

After working on self, now Jupiter will give the pleasure of having healthy food, being with family & also making money.

On, 10th May – Mars will enter Cancer & that will break the exchange of Mars-Mercury...

Again, Cancer is a water element sign, so emotions are going to rule everything.

The fiery & action planet Mars can give emotional conflicts…

Action & emotions both can be intense…In general, …there can be gradual slowness in action.

& on the same day we also have Sun - Uranus conj @ 24° in Aries…

See all these are back-to-back…

& Sun – Uranus conjunction can be an important trigger…

As this can significantly change the equation of the Sun in your chart… whatever the Sun signifies & its lordship, Leo can experience sudden changes.

Then on 15th May – Mercury will be direct @ 11° of Aries.

Expect relief in many ways…especially at the mental level.

There will be gradual clarity and your decision-making power will be strong.

You can now slowly take things forward with your travel plans, contracts, in trading, and documentations, or have important meetings or conversations…

On the same day, Sun will enter Taurus… Expect mental relief as Sun will be out of the clutches of Rahu.

The focus will change to family… finances …. & making necessary changes in these areas.

Also, Jupiter will transit over the Solar Eclipse point of 5° in Aries…

This can help, purification of the eclipse impact…& there can be some new development.

Then on 19th May, we have a New Moon in Taurus - Kritika @ 4°…where the Sun, the lord of Kritika will be in Taurus.

There are chances of some concrete & complete results of this new moon again related to the Sun & Leo sign in your chart.

Also, On the 19th Jupiter will change its navamsa to Gemini & we already have Rahu in Gemini's navamsa.

This will be actually the beginning of Jupiter-Rahu's close conjunction.

Both are planets of expansion and can outgrow everything related to the Aries sign & Gemini in your Navamsa chart.

Aries for external & Gemini for internal results…

Pay close attention to what has its impact on your chart &…handle it well…

Stay morally true to your values …

In any doubt, go on the path of truth & wisdom.

The exact conjunction of Jupiter - Rahu is on the 26th of May @ 8° in Aires…

The conjunction of Jupiter and Rahu is known as Guru Chandal Yoga.

The effects of this yoga can be strong…uncontrollable at times & do not categorize in good or bad….

It’s best to go by the wisdom of Jupiter while dealing with any sudden changes in behavior and tendencies…

Along with this, there are other significant aspects that can give us some clue of the impact of this Jupiter-Rahu conjunction…

On 21st May – Mars will be opposite Pluto @ 6° & also Sun will be trine to Pluto @ 6°

Connection to Pluto will strongly influence & bring change in the signification of Mars & Sun in your chart along with Aries, Scorpio & Leo signs.

Mars has 4th aspect on Ketu in Libra & will be exact on 25th May @ 8°

Mars also aspects Saturn with its 8th aspect…in Aquarius…

This is another indication that we are close to an important phase of our life…

Aspect generally denotes the wish or aim that we are targeting…

With Mars aspecting Saturn, Pluto & Ketu indicates… we aim for complete change & end of the matter related to Capricorn & Libra sign.

Sun trine to Pluto will encourage gentle responses to those changes…

& lastly, on 30th May, Venus will move to Cancer…& Mars will welcome, Venus - home…

Venus in Gemini was a fun time with social media, browsing our phones, and laptops, communicating with everyone, traveling & entertaining ourselves…

With Venus in Cancer is all about home comfort…having good food with family, decorating our home, deepening our bond with family & creating a strong foundation.

Expect comfort, nurturing, and a sense of peace around the home.

There can be emotional fights also but the aim is to safeguard affection in relations…

All in all, the entire month is eventful and can bring sudden changes…But, Venus in Gemini will keep it all cool.

It will be a mixed bag of things with all that is happening…

As Rahu plays a significant role…. observe your expression, and responses as any small matter can take a big shape…

Some sudden unexpected things can happen… Do not be overconfident, egoistic, or arrogant…in your behavior.

As Rahu will amplify the matter. Initially, we also have Mercury retrograde. It is advisable to be slow & patient in your approach.

But you will have best time where Gemini is placed in our chart.
